    Burdens of Proof
    If two people lay claim to an object, how can we decide who is right? Upon whom does the burden of proof fall, and what kind of evidence will the court require?

We provide the cases and the primary source texts from the Talmud, and you grapple with the facts in order to arrive at satisfying solutions. You will have the opportunity to question, discuss, and argue, based on principle and precedent. You need no prior knowledge of the Talmud and no formal legal training. There are no prerequisites other than an open mind. You take the lead. You Be the Judge!

    Overcoming Folly - Part 30
    "Choose the King"
    With Rabbi Ari Sollish
    (Recorded live at the Intown Jewish Academy on August 29, 2021)
    There's an ancient Jewish parable that goes like this:
    A king entered a country accompanied by a duke, a prefect, and a commander.... One person said, "I will choose the duke as my patron." Another said, "I will choose the prefect as my patron." And still another said, "I will choose the commander as my patron." There was a clever person [among them] who said: "T will choose the king, because the others are all subject to replacement, whereas the king is not subject to replacement."
    Four people, four choices. Yet only one of them makes the "clever" choice. But why not? Why didn't the others choose the king? Isn't that the obvious choice? Would everyone choose the Big Boss if given the opportunity?
    Ah yes, this story has much to tell us about our own lives and our own choices...
    In this session of Kabbalah & Coffee, we have an honest conversation about the choices, kings, and the real dilemmas that life throws our way.
